Thank you guys for reading chapter 8 of Secret Admirer
Sorry, it took me forever on this. I was working on other stories and I have writer's block on the story. But, it happens sometimes. I'll try to get right back on track with the story.
Here's chapter 9
Chapter 9
"Harry, I would love to go to the ball with you," Hermione said.
"Really?" Harry asked. Hermione nodded. The two Gryffindor's hugged each other. Then, they looked into each other's eyes.
"Hermione, I—" Harry got interrupted when Neville and Ron came downstairs. Harry and Hermione looked at their friends.
"Hey, guys. Did we interrupt something?" Neville asked.
"What? Oh, no. No, no. You didn't interrupt anything, we were just talking about the ball, and I'm just going to the library, so I'll see you guys at dinner," Hermione said, as she walked out of the common room. Ginny also came downstairs along with Parvati, Lavender, Dean, and Seamus and they saw Hermione walking out of the common room.
"What's going on?" Ginny asked as she sat down on one of the chairs.
"IaskedHermionetotheball," Harry said.
"Sorry. We didn't catch that, mate," Ron said.
"I asked Hermione to the ball," Harry said. The Gryffindor's looked at each other like Christmas came early.
"What did she say?" Lavender asked. Parvati and Ginny looked at her.
"What? I want to know," Lavender said.
"She said yes," he said.
"Congrats, Harry," Neville said.
"Thanks. I'm also going to the library as well. I need to do some homework for Defense Against the Dark Arts," Harry said, grabbing his school bag, walking out of the portrait door, and then left.
As Harry entered the library, he saw Hermione. 'Merlin, she's so beautiful. Wait a minute, she's your best friend.' He thought.
"Hi, Hermione," he said, as he walked to her table. Hermione looked up from a book that she's using for a homework assignment for Ancient Runes [1].
"Harry, what are you doing here?" She asked. Harry sat down across from Hermione and he looked at her.
"I just want to check on you and I have to do my homework for Defense Against the Dark Arts," he said.
"That's very nice of you, Harry. But, I'm fine," Hermione said.
"Hermione, you don't have to lie to me, I know you than you think," Harry said.
Hermione sighed. "Okay, I'll tell you. I was thinking about the whole secret admirer thing is a joke,"
"What? Why would it be a joke?" Harry asked.
"Maybe he's making a bet with his friends and maybe he will tell them how ugly I am," Hermione said putting her head down in despair. Harry got up from his chair, sat down next to Hermione, and put his arm around her.
"Hermione Jean Granger, look at me,"
She looks up at him.
"You're not ugly. If he can't see that, then it's his loss. You are the most beautiful girl I've met," Harry said.
"Thanks, Harry," Hermione said.

A week later, 2 weeks later, tonight is the Valentine's Day Ball. Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny are in the girls' dorm rooms, getting ready for the night of their lives.
Hermione put on light makeup: She applied beige eyeshadow, little mascara, and light pink lip gloss. She used some of the Sleekeazy's Hair Potion [2] on her hair and styled it into a princess wavy hairstyle while Lavender put on matte beige and brown eyeshadow, some mascara, and light pink strawberry lip gloss. She put her hair into a fishtail braid.
Parvati put on gold eyeshadow, mascara, and nude lip gloss. She put her hair into a French braid while Ginny applied rose gold eyeshadow, some mascara, and nude lip gloss. She decided to curl her hair.
The girls put on their dress robes and shoes: Ginny put on her medium pink dress robes and 3-inch heels; Parvati put on her pink rose dress robes and 4-inch heels; Hermione put on her red dress robes and red high heels [3], Lavender put on her rose gold dress robes and 4-inch white heels. They grabbed their boutonnieres for their dates, walked out of the dormitories, and went to the corridors with Luna, who's wearing her light pink dress robes and 2-inch heels [4]. For her makeup: She put on neutral brown eyeshadow, some mascara, and light pink lip gloss. Luna walked up to the Gryffindor girls.
"Hello, girls," Luna said.
"Hi, Luna, you look beautiful," Hermione, Lavender, Parvati, and Ginny said.
"Thanks, so do you," Hermione said.
"Thank you," Luna said.
"Are we ready?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah," Lavender and Parvati said.
Author's Notes
1) Hermione took Ancient Runes in her 3rd year at Hogwarts in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (because she, Harry, and Ron went to find Horcruxes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).
2) The potion was created by Fleamont Potter (who was James Potter's father and Harry's grandson). Hermione used this potion to prepare for the Yule Ball, which she attended with Viktor Krum in the book Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Harry and his friends probably don't know that the potion was invented by his parental grandfather.
3) Look at the dress robe and shoe descriptions for Hermione, Parvati, and Ginny in the last chapter.
4) Also look at Luna's dress robes and shoes description in the last chapter.
Who's Hermione's secret admirer? (Hint: He's in Hermione's year, but NOT in Slytherin)
